The scenario you described is exactly why Apple/RIAA does not let you take songs off the iPod or link the iPod to numerous iTunes libraries.

Search for Windows software that will let you.

Edit: Perhaps you were meaning to say that the songs were put on the iPod in 'disk mode'? If so, enable disk mode in the iTunes preferences on your roomies PC and then drag them to the desktop, I guess? I have never used an iPod or iTunes on a PC.

I think she took some songs from her roommates cpu and put them into her ipod and now she want to copy them into her itunes..
you are not allowed to take songs off the ipod and put them into itunes but there is programs that allow you to do it.
